Omelets in a Bag

Recipe #304165 | 18 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: SusanRW

This is an easy and fun way to make omelets. Everyone can have exactally what their tastebuds desire in their omelet. We added other ingredients such as ham and cheese. You don't have to use these specific ingredients. Be creative and add whatever you would like to your omelet. My mother-in-law sent it to me to try and it is a family favorite.

I'v made these for a long time. I was taught how to make these in scout training and have taught girl scouts how to do this. Do not use cheap plastic bags as they will bust open. I only use the ziplock brand.

    This actually works great! My FIL did it one day and we all were totally shocked how perfectly the omelets were cooked and how good they are. You have got to try it one morning for something fun to do. Everyone can build their own. We only use Ziplocks too, the small freezer bags. Great fun for a family!
